"To the basement?" Victor proposed, his voice slightly tentative. "Hopefully we can find something between the four of us."
He waited a brief second before heading towards the basement, glancing over his shoulder to make sure that they were following him. Before he reached the door, he paused. "We may want some sort of flashlight. There's no telling what could be down there."
(So, uh. Starlight deleted again?)
(ghdhdggdd maybe they'll be back?? Idk)
(Just gonna bump this just in case? Also happy holidays babes!)
(happy holidays!)
(Also I can't believe I forgot to respond to my own fucking RP, I'm so sorry)
Sherlock considered that for a moment. "Yes, a flashlight would perhaps be a good idea. Shall I grab one?" They asked, looking over at Victor curiously. They knew where to find a flashlight, they just wanted to know whether one was truly wanted or not.
(Oh shit Hi anyways it me Starlight back again after deleting because I'm a cowardly little man, please forgive me, anyways if I bribe you with art can I rejoin? Also I am genuinely sorry and do wish to make things better, how can I do so if I can do so?)
(hey Starlight! You can rejoin, yes. I'm not really offended by anything that happened (if that's what you're apologizing to) so if you feel the need to apologise, there are better people than me to apologise for :) )
(Hey dude! It’s fine with me if you rejoin. I also have some art to share tbh haha. Hope you’re doing well and happy holidays!)
Yea cool. Okay, I'll post something soon. Sorry again for abruptly deleting. I am actually proud of the art tho so I'll share it if you're willing also @Tired-but-passionate I'd love to see whatever you drew!
Eden nodded, and stood there waiting for orders. They were just happy to be involved, really, even if it was mostly going to be muscle work. They'd already established with Victor they were mostly useless for anything science, which they didn't really mind, just wished they could be… well, better, in simple words. Eden was having a hard time articulating themself, especially lately.
(Aw heck time to die for two whole amazing people. Ideal straight couple. The only valid het pairing. Anyways here's me with my updated artstyle with some Jonathan/Mina in the middle and everyone largely happy except Sherlock because honestly I imagine Sherlock going off on Moriarty would be undeniably satisfying: https://s3.amazonaws.com/notebook-content-uploads/content/uploads/original/e18f7797-ef03-4e15-b447-9b6ed9e69ac3.png?1608860292 featuring Jonathan and Mina, a smiling Alek which currently feels very out of character, a happy Eden which is slightly less out of character, and a Sherlock probably joining the Eden Protection Squad against Victor #1)
(Heheheh you know it. Tysm! And oh my sweet Jesus yes, I love it. I wanna see happy Alek and Sherlock joining the protection squad one day)
(:O I love all of the art, y'all!! And honestly I love that Sherlock looks so pissed and ready to go off lmao. Them and Alek have taken much too large a spot in my heart. Honestly this whole RP has, really lol)
(Aww, glad you like them! I was thinking of drawing a happy Sherlock but then decided, Sherlock's a pretty chill dude, why not let them go a little feral? As a treat.)
(yeah! Haha very fair, Sherlock doesn't lose their cool easy but I pity the person they eventually lose it on)
(Off topic, but I’m thinking I want to wait till after Christmas and then post smth for Jonathan and Mina)
(That's valid bro! Take all the time you need!)
(Yeah I'm probably not gonna reply until this weekend either; excellent art everyone! I'd draw something but I Cannot Draw aha. Also I feel that, Ice, I'm slightly irrationally excited for this to continue!)
(Merry Christmas, to those who celebrate it! Happy Holidays either way! Also valid, don't feel pressured to answer unless/until you want to)
(Merry Christmas guys! ^^)
"Yes, it would be nice if you could grab a flashlight," Victor said. He rubbed at his elbow and looked to his feet. The feeling of being the head of a group was still foreign to him. He had always followed behind Professor Krempe and Margaret while on Enna, and had done the same with Elizabeth and Henry back on Genla. "I think it's generally a good idea to be able to see the stairs we walk down."
He regretted his phrasing instantly; he hadn't wanted to come off as snippy towards Sherlock.
Mina and Jonathan searched most of the upper floor with no success. Of course, they didn’t really expect a library to be hidden among the bedrooms and bathrooms, but it was still worth a try. They went back downstairs, Mina letting Victor know of their progress and moving into the living room.
“I’d like to imagine it would have a secret door or something,” Jonathan said as he searched the walls around the electric fireplace.
“Is that why you were feeling around the tiles in the bathroom upstairs?” Mina grinned as she peered around a corner.
“… yes.”
(Reminds me of the "in Scooby Doo, secret tunnels are always behind bookshelves and shit!" "can we not base our real-life decisions based on what does or does not happen in episodes of Scooby Doo?" incorrect quote asdakjfg I love Jonathan)
